Description

Published in cooperation with ICC, NFPA, and SFPE, the Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering provides
authoritative, comprehensive guidance on the latest in smoke control
practice, incorporating the latest research and current engineering
approaches.

With almost 500 pages of in-depth guidance, the handbook describes smoke
control technology, including fundamental concepts, smoke control
systems, and methods of analysis, and contains the information needed
for the analysis of design fires, including considerations of
sprinklers, shielded fires, and transient fuels. Systems discussed in
the handbook include those for stairwell pressurization, elevator
pressurization, zoned smoke control, and atrium smoke control. This is
the first smoke control book with climatic data so that users will have
easy-to-use weather data specifically for smoke control design for
locations in the U.S., Canada, and throughout the world.

Following
the success of Principles of Smoke Management in 2002, this book
adds coverage of topics including controls, fire and smoke control in
transport tunnels, and full-scale fire testing. For those getting
started with the computer models CONTAM and CFAST, there are simplified
instructions with examples. Unique to previous smoke control literature,
this handbook provides many example calculations to help designers
prevent smoke damage. (Hardbound, 484 pp., 2012)

"A critical safety feature of today’s modern buildings, the design of smoke control systems, can be challenging and often requires collaboration between various project design teams. Where a smoke control system is required by the International Building Code® (or other codes and standards), the Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering provides team members with the tools and information needed to effectively and accurately design and construct such systems.” ~Hamid Naderi, ICC’s Senior Vice President for Product Development

"The Handbook of Smoke Control Engineering is a must-have reference for anyone involved in the design of smoke management systems. The format was updated to make it more useful to practicing engineers. New material was added on system controls, smoke control in tunnels, full-scale testing and use of models in smoke control design. Also, Klote and Milke have enlisted the help of new coauthors for this edition, which increases the breadth of the handbook.” ~Morgan Hurley

About SFPE

SFPE is a global organization representing those practicing in the fields of fire protection engineering and fire safety engineering. SFPE’s mission is to define, develop, and advance the use of engineering best practices; expand the scientific and technical knowledge base; and educate the global fire safety community, in order to reduce fire risk. SFPE members include fire protection engineers, fire safety engineers, fire engineers, and allied professionals, all of whom are working towards the common goal of engineering a fire safe world.
